It has structure and you worked out different phrasings of your melody line. Watch all the long notes though. If you’re going to use them it would help to use some vibrato. Playing along with different instruments is fun and it can create some nice fresh ideas. I've been trying to find a cool backing with saxophone to jam with.

Still a long ways away but as I add technique and further knowledge of notes, I think I will get better. Just not enough time now a days...Wish I would have started this adventure 25 years ago...

Its just basic blues in A and if you want we can work thru it together. Sounds like fun to me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm getting all I can get out of these Duncan Designed p/up's and the EMG's were a bit to much. I'm fairly satisfied with it, I think. Sounds good man! There are a few things I would suggest and this could just be my taste maybe. 1.) Think about the structure of it. You have a beginning (good), Middle going into the change fits also, but the end isn't really clear. The story doesn't end or resolve. Just something to think about. 2.) In the middle part it would be nice if you could work in the Blues note some. You are just playing straight pentatonic the whole time and adding a lick with that note will give it more color and sound more bluesy. I will upload my progress a little later for you to comment on.

Jul 4 2009, 12:41 AM	Learning Tone Seeker Posts: 1.525 Joined: 21-January 08 From: Cincinnati, Ohio	OK Steve, so here you go. I usually wouldn't ever post such a ruff take but for you I'll make an exception. I figured I'd try and make this some what of a learning thing for the both of use. Here is where I'm at. First thing I do with a collab is find a tone that fits the mood of what I'm going for. Then I just play slowly through it to get a feal for where I want to be on the neck and what notes to finish on. This is far from a finished product.

Love the note choice and the pre-bends definitely add some flavor. I can see how landing on the right note in each passage sets the stage for the next. I'll take what I can from it bro, thanks and keep updating. Have you listened to the latest of mine? disregard the ending as that will change for sure!

What kind of mentor am I anyway? This one has much more color to it don't you think? I like what you where trying to go for at the end so keep working on that part. Only other thought I had was to try and finish each phrase (lick) and stop! Don't let all the long notes ring some much. Think of the question and answer technique. Ask a question (STOP) and then answer (STOP). Great progress! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
